What is the measure of the common man No deeds to share Gifts to compare When all I have it rests in on ticking hands I have my ways Descent delayed And I have tried to make you see A brighter hue But deep down I know I'll be Forever blue And there's a blackness inside me That's breaking through But deep down I know I'll be Forever blue Nobody wants to learn a thing these days An endless coil Of waste and toil Empires are built upon the ashes of The weak and frail Those doomed to fail And I've been trying to set free A lighter hue But deep down I know I'll be Forever blue And there's a blackness inside me That's breaking through But deep down I know I'll be Forever blue My colors will release the bonds again I'm growin into all I could have been All of these changes that you see Maybe it's all just chemistry? You've made a monster out of me Baby it's all just chemistry It's all just chemistry I'm gonna burn it all
